I went through great lengths to build a brew stand to take advantage of gravity in draining wort from the BK through a CFC.
But I am having a hell of a time getting a decent flow of water through the CFC in my tests. I havent even brewed a batch yet, just been testing with water. At best I am getting a trickle, and thats without hot break, hops, etc.
My BK valve, and tubing is all 1/2" (but the CFC is 3/8"). I just cant figure out how to get the air out of the line. I tried pre-priming the tubing with forced water via a hose, but air manages to get right back in when I switch the tubing back to my BK.
Short of a March pump, any tips? I hate to get a pump just for that last stage of the process.
